I will be leaving for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, aka COP16 (Conference of Parties) with ECO Singapore, the external environmental organisation I'm attached to tomorrow, and will only be back on 14th December. So, hiatus till then unless I have something unrelated to environmental issues to talk about. Otherwise, you can find me here: http://unfcccecosingapore.wordpress.com/ I'm yingkelaching. Do read up on environmental issues there, we will bring you the most updated and relevant issues, turning the abstract (and the acronyms) into something you can relate to.
I'll be at Conference of Youths (COY6) for the first three days, Klimaform (an alternative climate platform) for the first week and the official conference venue for the 2nd.
Drats, this blogpost sounds like an email (like the 10000... I've sent out this year) I shall inject some energy. I think I hesitated to do so because I know how it feels when people go around boasting (though they don't mean, it may seem like it) on Facebook (eg. "I can see the Effiel Tower from my hotel room!") I AM excited. It's cool to meet like-minded people and know you are not alone in this environmental cause. I really want to gain insights which I can translate into actions back home, especially in school. I know I should tone down my expectations but a bit of optimism never hurts. After all, no one expected a legally binding agreement to come out from the Kyoto (COP3)
My dad is worried that I'll come home a hippie, vegan and (I quote him here) "a radical." Hmm....
